According to a message from the WeChat official account "Chinese Embassy to the EU" on July 19, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy to the EU responded to questions regarding the inclusion of two Chinese financial institutions in the EU's 18th round of sanctions against Russia.
Question: The EU has today adopted the 18th round of sanctions against Russia, including two Chinese financial institutions on the list. What is China's comment on this?
Answer: China has always opposed unilateral sanctions without international law basis and not authorized by the UN Security Council. The inclusion of two Chinese financial institutions in the EU's 18th round of sanctions against Russia is extremely malicious in nature and impact. China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition, and has already raised serious representations with the EU. China will take resolute measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
China has consistently advocated for peace and dialogue on the Ukraine issue, striving to promote a political solution to the crisis. China has never provided lethal weapons to any party involved in the conflict, and strictly controls the export of dual-use items. We urge the EU to stop smearing and blaming China, immediately correct the erroneous practice of listing two Chinese financial institutions, and take concrete measures to eliminate the negative impact.
